Ingredients

Chicken Skewers:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons regular paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce
• 2 lbs. boneless and skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3-inch pieces
• Nonstick cooking spray

Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce:

• ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
• 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
• ⅓ teaspoon red chili flakes
• ½ cup grated parmesan
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley

Directions

Preparation:

1. Soak Skewers: Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce. Add the chicken pieces and coat them evenly with the mixture.
3. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers tightly with no gaps. Trim the skewers if necessary to fit your air fryer.

Cooking:

4. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and red chili flakes and cook until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and minced parsley.
5. Air Fry the Skewers: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken skewers in the basket and cook for 6-7 minutes.
6. Flip and Baste: Flip the skewers, baste them with the prepared garlic parmesan butter sauce, and cook for another 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
7. Serve: Once cooked, brush the skewers with any remaining sauce and sprinkle with extra grated parmesan. Serve immediately and enjoy!
